Nice course

Good course. Nice layout, really tough when it’s windy. Course conditions were pretty good. Busy day so the pace was only OK. Nice Greens. Bunkers were dirt. Fairways and rough was what you would expect from a public course so not bad but not great. Worth the money, will play again.

Bristow Manor Review

I like Bristow Manor. It's a good value for the price. Due to the nice weather this time of the year, we waited about 5-10 min. each hold for the golfers in front of us (expected). There are a couple holes where you are in the line of fire and can be dangerous for golfers with a high handicap. Fairways were not in that great of shape. The best part about this course is probably the friendliness of the staff. Hopefully the conditions change this summer.

Decent Spring Conditions

1) The greens are in very good condition for early spring. They have "greened-out" nicely and the ball rolled quite well. I was concerned after practicing on the practice green near the range because it looked like it had been recently plugged. However, the actual greens were quite nice.

2) The fairways are still brown, probably because the grass is still dormant. However, they were completely playable.

3) The grass in the rough is green and the length varies quite a bit, even on the same hole. I suspect this is only because of the early spring conditions. There were also bare spots at various points in the rough.

4) The tee boxes were in nice condition and have "greened-out" well.

5) Bunkers were in a nice condition, although I observed multiple instances where the previous players had not raked them out.

Bottom line - worth playing, but at a cost-point of about $25-$35 for a weekday round, maybe $30-$45 for a weekend round.

5 hour round

Brutally slow, two fivesomes ahead of us, one group just jumping around to any hole, no course Marshall, just a free for all. Would not play there again if it was free

Pace of play was too slow. Had to wait often......need a Marshall working the weekends. Friendly staff, great bar and dining area. Course recovering well from winter freeze.. Greens are some of the best in northern VA.

Bristow Manor

Pace of play was slow cause of a frost delay. However, some consideration could be given to starting people on hole 10 as well as one. Nothing prevents a course from doing a shotgun start if a large group was delayed cause of frost.

Brostow manor has some of the best fairways and greens in the area. Some of the bunkers lacked a lot of sand. However, the course has made significant strides in improving pace of play by removing areas of vegetation that interfered with play. Great job overall!

Good Day to Golf

Bristow is always a fun course to play. Today was cool and the grounds were a little wet so cart path only. The course was in really good condition for December. They have been renovating the course and have updated the club house. I really like the updates and hope they continue the improvements.
